Formative Assessment-Math (TEAL)

This facilitated online course explores formative assessments, the formal and informal processes that teachers and students use collaboratively to gather evidence of student learning for the purpose of improving learning. Formative assessment is an assessment FOR learning that occurs while the learning is taking place as opposed to a summative assessment, which is an assessment OF learning that typically occurs at the end of a learning unit or course. Participants will explore strategies for conducting informal and ongoing assessments of adult education students’ progress and use that information to adjust teaching to ensure that all students learn.
